Wrexham team news

Ben Foster is expected to keep his place in goal against the side sixth in the table. Having bagged his 44th goal of the season in all competitions during the win over Yeovil, Paul Mullin will certainly be starting in attack.

Jacob Mendy is unlikely to be back from injury for this game but is not far away from recovery.

Wrexham predicted lineup vs Boreham Wood

Wrexham predicted lineup (4-4-2): Foster; Tozer, Forde, O'Connell, Cannon; Lee, Jones, O'Connor, Barnett; Palmer; Mullin.

Boreham Wood team news

There's a very good chance manager Luke Garrard will name an unchanged team for the second match in a row. Boreham Wood's form is steady enough to stay in the play-offs so he may not wish to tamper with it.

That means the likes of Nathan Ashmore, Jack Payne and Lee Ndlovu are all expected to start against the league leaders.

Are Notts County playing on Saturday?

With just two games left to play and four points separating Wrexham and Notts County, there is still a slim chance that Notts County can win the league. They will be in action on the same day as Wrexham vs. Boreham Wood when they take on Maidstone United away from home.

Their game is earlier though as it is not televised. They play at 15:00 BST and if they were to lose that game, it would mean Wrexham are champions before they take the field against Boreham Wood.

Wrexham vs Boreham Wood prediction

Considering Notts County will be against the team at the bottom of the table who have already been relegated, you have to assume that they will get all three points in Maidstone.

That means the pressure will be on for Wrexham.

Given how well they have handled the big pressure games so far this season, it is hard to imagine Wrexham tripping up at the crucial moment. Boreham Wood are a good side, but there is a 38-point gap between the two sides for a reason.

Prediction: Wrexham 3-1 Boreham Wood
